We’re delighted to announce that Truro Food Festival will benefit from funding from the Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund #hereforculture This funding will allow our operating company ILOW to guarantee the employment of the team that runs the Festival through the winter months, enabling them to research, programme and promote how we can produce the most exciting but safe event for 2021 and beyond. Whilst this is a huge relief for us, our hearts go out to everyone who is still in desperate need of support. Big thanks to @aceagrams @dcmsarts @ukhmtreasury for supporting us. We hope to see you all in Truro next year! #artscouncil #culturalrecoveryfund #festivalfunding #cornwallevents #truro #hereforculture -
It is with great sadness, amongst the ongoing situation with Covid-19 we must announce that Truro Food Festival which was due to take place 27-29 September will be cancelled. Last year we opened the festival for the very first time and we were so looking forward to a second year with you all. As always thank you for your ongoing support and we’re looking forward to seeing you next year. Dates for 2021 will be announced soon. Stay safe and see you next year, Truro Food Festival Commitee X -
Thank you to everyone who donated or took part in the @trusselltrust raffle during Truro Food Festival. We raised £452 for the charity and all raffle prize winners have now been contacted. If you’d like to volunteer or read more about the Trussell Trust’s work please visit www.trusselltrust.org - they are a fantastic charity aiming to end hunger and poverty in the UK. Thank you 🙏 -
A big thank you to @irinitzortzoglou who opened the Chefs Theatre on Sunday. Irini is a fantastic chef and entertainer and I think you’ll agree her demo was fantastic. A well deserved winner of MasterChef. Irini travelled a long way from Cumbria to join us at Truro Food Festival and we couldn’t be more thankful. We will be posting Irini’s recipe on our website soon so look out for it! @st_austell_brewery
We have been overwhelmed by the support that we have received so far and would like to extend a special thank you to Roger Gazzard and Taren-Lee Corin from Truro City Council, Alun Jones from Truro BID, Ruth Huxley from Cornwall Food & Drink, Tim Vigus from South West Bars & Events and the entire team at ILOW. Below are some kind words of support:
Ruth Huxley, MD of Cornwall Food & Drink, who operated the Great Cornish Food Festival, said: “We are delighted to hear that there will be a food festival to plug the gap we have left in Truro’s events calendar through being unable to put the Great Cornish Food Festival on. We wish the team at Truro Food Festival all the very best.”
Roger Gazzard, Town Clerk of Truro City Council, said: “This is a great opportunity for Truro to really embrace our own Food Festival and I encourage businesses across the city to get involved. The Truro Food Fest team are keen to hear from anyone who would like to be involved with the event as a volunteer, trader, sponsor, or local business looking to be involved.”
Alun Jones, BID Manager of Truro Bid, added: “Truro BID are delighted to support this year’s new format of Truro Food Festival to be held within Truro city centre this September. This is a great opportunity for local suppliers and businesses to work together providing an exciting event for our visitors and residents to enjoy over a three day period, adding another reason to visit Truro “Our Great little City”. We wish Lee and all the team every success with this event.”
